LEXAN UNIVERSAL cockpit speed - Jerez

A competition cockpit inspired by Jerez, signed by Sloting Plus

The LEXAN Universal Speed Cockpit Jerez (SP395002) from Sloting Plus is a preparation piece designed for those who approach the track with a driver's mindset. Made from LEXAN, the same material used in the manufacture of real competition bodies, this cockpit combines a lightweight construction with a rigidity that does not penalise the car's dynamic behaviour.

Main features

• Material: LEXAN, impact-resistant and with a weight reduction compared to other stiffer options.
• Universal compatibility: designed to work with the UNIVERSAL rail, suitable for Scalextric and Ninco tracks.
• Speed-oriented design: the term "speed" indicates a geometry designed to minimise interference and enhance high performance on track.
• Official reference: SP395002, easily identifiable in the Sloting Plus catalogue.

Function and performance

The cockpit is the piece that occupies the interior of the body, simulating the driver's cabin, but in the world of slot preparation, it also serves a structural and aesthetic function. A well-fitted cockpit contributes to the visual uniformity of the set and, in categories where presentation is scored, can make a difference. LEXAN, being a more flexible material than conventional ABS, better absorbs vibrations and withstands body contact without breaking easily.

Compatibility and assembly

As a universal cockpit, it is designed to fit a wide variety of speed bodies compatible with the UNIVERSAL rail (Scalextric, Ninco). As with all components of this type, it is advisable to check the specific fit with the body you intend to use, as tolerances may vary between models. Fine trimming and fitting with contact adhesive or resin are the usual techniques among preparers.

Ideal for…

• Club racers competing in categories with UNIVERSAL rail who want to maintain the visual finish of their car.
• Preparers looking to reduce interior weight without sacrificing the appearance of the cabin.
• Enthusiasts building or customizing their own speed bodies.

Aspects to consider

The cockpit is supplied unpainted, so you will need to finish it with paints compatible with LEXAN. Tamiya or Kaleido paint ranges are common options among preparers for this type of material. Remember that LEXAN is preferably painted on the interior side of the piece to achieve a protected and more realistic finish.

Frequently asked questions

What rail systems is this cockpit compatible with?

As a UNIVERSAL rail cockpit, it is compatible with Scalextric and Ninco tracks. It is not specifically designed for the SPORT rail (Scaleauto, Slot.it), although final compatibility will depend on the specific body you combine it with.

Is the cockpit sold painted or raw?

It is sold in clear LEXAN, unpainted. The customisation of the finish is the responsibility of the preparer or driver, using paints compatible with this material.

How is the cockpit fixed to the body?

The most common method is to use contact adhesive or small drops of cyanoacrylate at the support points, once the trimming is adjusted. It is advisable to do a dry fit before gluing to ensure the correct fit.

Is it necessary to trim the cockpit to adapt it?

It depends on the body. The universal profile means it may require small trimming adjustments to fit perfectly in each model. With basic slot preparation tools (precision scissors, dremel, or scalpel), the work is straightforward.

Can I use it in official competition?

That depends on the regulations of each championship or club. It is advisable to consult the technical bases of your category before incorporating any preparation piece.
